The panel explored the importance of knowing product liability laws and how to meet or exceed FDA standards. Panelists advised that cannabis business owners need to be mindful of products liability laws, as well as state labeling laws applicable to products generally (like California’s Proposition 65) and how they may affect their business.

“It seems some marketing departments work in a vacuum. I advise involving scientific and regulatory experts early in the product development process and that companies ensure legal counsel review marketing claims to mitigate risks,” Dr. Johnson said. “Plaintiff’s attorneys seem to be a bigger legal risk for cannabis companies than federal enforcement currently.”

Canna West is a unique opportunity to hear from, and share, viewpoints with regulators; learn from peers; and absorb best practices for cannabis compliance, cultivation, testing, manufacturing, extractions, product development, labeling, distributing and retailing cannabis products.
